This Pentecost weekend is the 50th anniversary of the Water Eaton Church Centre and the 70th Anniversary of the foundation of St Frideswide’s Church of England (the congregation with which we share WECC).

St Frideswide’s was founded in 1955. In the 1970’s, Spurgeon Memorial Baptist Church was looking for a new site in which to worship. Spurgeon’s then entered into a sharing agreement with St Frideswide’s to extend the existing St Frideswide’s site at Water Eaton. The Water Eaton Church Centre was opened on 10th June 1975.

You can find out more, including a video documenting the opening of the new Water Eaton Church Centre, on Our History page.
